Chapter 59 reminds of how Ian used sex as his sleeping pill, a very unhealthy form. I find it interesting that this is shown to us after chapter 58 where we actually see Ian start to have a more healthy form of sex, not using sex as a pill or coping mechanism to forget issues he doesn't want face. I think Jo has shown Ian bits of simplicity and stability that Ian needs in his life. It might not last long, as there's more upcoming plot with Jamie, but despite it being short, it's definitely what Ian needs right now.
